Scratch is a fantastic, free online platform for coding which allows kids of any age to create animations, interactive stories, games, and more. More schools are introducing students at all levels to coding via “The Hour of Code,” and Scratch is a wonderful and supportive community for students to continue developing their coding skills. It’s also tons of fun!

Please share this event and invitation with other Oklahoma students, teachers, parents, families, and community members you know who might be interested. The Div is a 501.C3 nonprofit based in Edmond, Oklahoma, working to provide more opportunities for students to learn coding and STEM skills. Follow them on Twitter (@thedivorg) and Facebook for more updates.

This 74 second video provides a nice overview of Scratch and why it’s such a powerful and supportive platform as well as community for learning coding. All students participating in Scratch Day are encouraged to create a FREE account on the Scratch website before the workshop, and bring the userID and password so projects can be saved online!
